Equinix Q2 2026 earnings: AI colocation and GPU hosting revenue accelerates
Equinix's Q2 2026 earnings call highlighted strong demand from financial institutions and hyperscalers for GPU colocation and edge inference hosting. The data-center operator reported increased bookings for AI-optimized racks supporting LLM inference and risk model deployment.
